(8/6/20) As the centennial of the founding of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) was approaching, the organization asked columnist and contributing editor for Newsweek Ellis Cose to become its first ever writer-in-residence. The result is Ellis’s latest book “Democracy, If We Can Keep It: The ACLU’s 100-Year Fight for Rights in America,” the definitive story of the ACLU but also an essential account of America’s rediscovery of rights supposedly granted but long denied. Join us for the history of the organization's fight for the liberties promised in the Constitution in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
